Inspired by bridge construction, the ‘Kahn’ dining table, by Ho Chi Minh City-based design studio District Eight, is a smart piece of flexible engineering. Imagined for group gatherings as well as singular office use, the rectangular oak top sits on a blackened steel wire frame and polished concrete legs, cast by local artisans. The table forms part of a series of furniture by the Vietnamese group that merges industrial finishes with a sleek appearance.
